Timing of Insulin (NA):
- Insulin (NA) likely refers to NPH insulin, an intermediate-acting insulin.
- Typically, it should be taken about 30 minutes before a meal, not 2 hours after.
-
Consultation:
- Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
- Adjustments in timing or dosage should be made under medical supervision.
-
Safety Precautions:
- Taking insulin too late can lead to poor blood sugar control or hypoglycemia.
- If you experience symptoms like dizziness or confusion, contact your doctor immediately.
Recommendation: Follow your diabetes care team's guidance for safe insulin use.

I've got a 14 mm thyroid nodule in my right lobe that's grown by 2 mm over the last 1.5 years. A FNA in September 2014 showed it was an adenomatoid nodule with cystic degeneration and there was scant thick colloid in the smears. The FNAC in November 2014 showed suboptimal cellularity. I had a CT scan recently for my neck, and it came back completely normal. My thyroid tests from a few months ago were also normal. Should I consider getting another FNAC or is surgery the next step?
